Wow! This is very cool. I think it's neat how you opted to cross an owl with a leopard (?) instead of the traditional eagle and lion - it has a very exotic appearance and definitely looks like a mountain species.

I love this entire series, but there's something about this one that just works immensely well. Really well resolved, and regal in that sort of "oh god I don't offend him and he rips my throat out" sort of way.

In my project, I'm taking the idea of a gryphon and pretending that they are "real"- making subspecies, behaviours and characteristics that move beyond the "standard" gryohon template You can find out more about my project here: [link]
